IMPROVEMENT IN EXTENSION BRACKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,967, dated June 18, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER ScoTT EL- LIOTT, of Goshen, Orange county, State of New York, have invented anew and useful Extension Bracket, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement of two or more brackets orframes, one above the other, the upper bracket being provided with two friction-rollers working upon V- shaped surfaces arranged at top and bottom of the bracket, situated below the same.

Figure I represents aside view of an extension bracket embodying my invention. Fig. II is a cross-section of the same.

A is the wall-plate, through which the whole bracket isattached to the desired place on the wall. To this plate A a frame, B, is hinged at a a. To the frame B a long frame or bracket, D, is attached, either cast on or. fastened on in any other convenient manner, having on top and bottom V-shaped surfaces parallelwith each other, and planed straight and smooth. Above the bracket D a similar bracket, D, is arranged, having likewise the top and bottom made V-shaped and planed, and corresponding in size and shape exactly with the similar surfaces on the lower bracket D. The body of this upper bracket D may be made somewhat lighter and less in depth than the lower bracket. On the after end of the bracket D lugs n are fastened on each side, supporting at their ends a grooved roller, c, fitting exactly over the lower V-shaped surface on the bracket D, the inner surfaces of said lugs n acting at the same time as guides against the projecting edges or sides of the lower bracket D to prevent any shaking or side motion. A few inches forward of these lugs a similar lugs m are attached to the bracket D, supporting a grooved roller, w, situated in such a position as to bear against the lower V-shaped surface of the bracket D, and work upon the upper V-shaped surface of the bracket D.

By this arrangement of the roller 20 supportin g the bracket D and resting upon the bracket D, in combination with the roller '0 working against the bottom surface of the bracket D, while the inner surfaces of the lugs 12. n fit against the side edges of the lower bracket D, this upper bracket D will be kept perfectly steady, and is at the same time easily moved inward or outward, as may be desired.

Near the forward end of the lower bracket D a stop-pin, s, or projection is attached to prevent the upper bracket from being moved OK the lower bracket. Above the bracket D a similar bracket, D, provided with lugs 01 and m, supporting grooved rollers o and w, arranged and operating as above described, is arranged, and other similarly-constructed brackets may be arranged above this again, according to the length of extension required. At the forward end of the upper bracket a pin, 2, or its equivalent is arranged, to which the desired table or platform is attached to support the tools, instruments or any other desired articles.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The arrangement of two or more brackets or frames, D D, &c., above each other, made with V-shaped parallel surfaces on top and bottom, in combination with grooved frictionrollers 22 w, 860., working in suitable lugs n m, attached to the upper frame and embracing the lower frame, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth and described.
